Should I buy a cold air intake and use that or keep it the way it is now? Just curious if others have done this or is it something I should change? I can post a pic if my question is not clear. Thanks in advance
They blocked off the sound generator tube that pumps intake noise into the cabin Probably happens within the first week of owning the car for about 95% of the buyers. It actually makes it quieter in the cabin not louder. Odds are you have an aftermarket exhaust and header and that is why the car is louder
